Hi,
I have a virtual machine which I created that has two bridged virtual network adapters connected to VMnet0 and VMnet2. I have used the vmnetcfg.exe tool to configure VMnet0 bridged to my wired network adapter, and VMnet2 bridged to my wireless lan adapter. However when I power up the VM using VMware Player, both network adapters appear to be connected to VMnet0.

As you can see from the ipconfig above, both network adapters are picking up DHCP addresses on the same subnet. Local Area Connection 2 should be pickup up a 10.x.x.x address.
Any help is much appreciated.
